TOP 10 Best Home Theater Projectorsunder $1500

UPDATED FEBRUARY 2018

Though the cheapest Full HD home theater projectors are available for as little as $500, you get a significant step up in
performance and features if you can stretch your budget up to $1500. Some of the best selling projectors for home theater
are in this price category because they deliver outstanding picture quality for the money. They are all 1920 x 1080 resolution,
which matches Full HD video from Blu-ray discs and streaming sources like Netflix, VUDU, and Amazon Prime. They
can also easily light up a 120" diagonal screen, or even larger. A 120" screen is almost 9 feet wide and 42.5 square
feet, about three times the size of a 70" flat panel TV. So the projector delivers an immersive movie theater experience
that you cannot get from even the largest TVs.

Thinking about a projector vs. a TV, another key difference other than dramatic picture size is the quality of light.
In a commercial movie theater you get natural, balanced, reflected light. If you want to replicate that experience in a home theater,
the projector + screen is the only way to do it. Flat panel TVs emit a lot of light per square inch and are great for lights-on
video in a multipurpose room. But in a darkened viewing room that replicates the "movie theater" experience, TVs have a harsh glare
that is not at all like the quality of light in a commercial theater.
